Summer is half over (sorry) which means it’s time to stuff the bus in preparation for the 2025-26 school year. Hubbard Radio Northern Minnesota is stuffing a bus with school supplies and donations can be dropped off at Cub Foods in Brainerd and Baxter, Essentia Health-St. Jospeh’s Medical Center, Ace Hardware in Brainerd and Nisswa and Mr. Tire in Brainerd.

KOB-TV recently combined forces with Nusenda Credit Union to help in the flood relief efforts for Ruidoso, NM. The KOB 4 Phone Bank center was staffed by Nusenda employees – taking donations for Ruidoso over the phone. Nusenda is also accepting donations at all of its 20+ branches in New Mexico and 4 in El Paso. In just two hours, the phone bank was able to raise more than $25,000!! This demonstrates the power of local television, and the generous spirit of KOB 4 viewers. Partnerships like these don’t just happen. All of that money will be managed by the Community Foundation of Lincoln County, the preferred relief distribution agency for Ruidoso ever since the fires swept through the village last summer. #Nusendacu #KOBTV #Floodrelief #LocalTV #Community #NewMexico

The New Mexico Broadcaster's Association threw a bit of a curveball during their annual meeting, and presented KOB 4 with the TV Station of the Year. This was a complete surprise but leadership graciously accepted! Thank you to all of the dedicated staff for making NBC 4 the #1 sources of news and information for the residents of New Mexico! #KOB4 #NMBA #Awardwinning #Journalism

Friday was officially “retirement day” for KOBF and KOBR Station Manager Charlie Blanco. It was also the day the NMBA chose to recognize his selection to the New Mexico Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame, as part of a luncheon for NMBA sponsors, and their monthly board meeting. Charlie was also bestowed the honor of becoming a “lifetime” member of the NMBA board. For 25 years of dedicated leadership, we salute you, Charlie! Enjoy this next chapter in your life! Congratulations on your retirement, entrance into the NMBA Hall of Fame and on the lifelong membership honor with the New Mexico Broadcasters Association! #KOB4 #KOBF #KOBR #NWBA #Retirement #Halloffame
